Are you up for a few minutes FatMax?

Are you up for a few minutes FatMax?

Sure. Give me a call.

 

[FatMax]

Pure Hoppiness. Holy. Crap. Excellent. Deserves to be mentioned with the big dogs like Pliny and Dreadnaught. No joke.

Thanks Skylord.

4.7 guess so!

 

[FatMax]

Just read the review, but it doesn't look like FatMax was too happy with the Harpoon IPA. I have to say I agree, but tons of people really seem to like it. I can drink it, but there are so many better ones out there.

Yeah, I wasn't all that impressed. It seemed like a half-hearted attempt at an IPA, and with so many good IPAs around, well, you know. It was weak on all fronts.

Yeah, I need to get more of it in a big way. Effing Beer Advocate's weighted averages, this beer should be near the top.

Definitely the best I've had (thanks Skylord!) - will be interesting to see how the Pliny compares when I get that next week.

Very similar with the sweet piney finish. I think Pliny is a little hoppier in the taste, but I might not be remembering correctly.

Difficult to find yet extremely delicious San Diego DIPA from a brewery located in Alpine, CA (WAY out east past El Cajon). I know you make the trek down periodically so here's a list of locations to find the bottles. There's a very small supermarket near SDSU that carries it.

Its not as hoppy as other DIPA's. But the creamy, caramel, buttery flavor mixed with the hop profile brought me to my knees.

My favorite review - I'm not sure if profanity is tolerated on this site. But I need to use it. This beer is the XXXXing worst bottle of liquid XXXX that exists. Corona is better than this. The smell made me queasy, drinking it made me physically ill. No, I'm not exaggerating. This thing pours a dark piss yellow. No head. Looks thick. Smells sickeningly sweet. Just sweet. Not malt sweet, sugar sweet, candy sweet, just sickeningly sweet. Terrible taste. Reminds me of vomit sprinkled with sugar and cake mix. After two sips, I chucked it. This made me vomit. I felt fine before I had this beer, so it is safe to assume this made me sick. Nobody in the camp wanted it. One guy said it smelled like goat sex. Okay. Mouthfeel? I dunno. It wasn't in my mouth long enough. Undrinkable. Made me vomit, nobody else would drink it, it's undrinkable. Seriously, we need negative points, or at least zero, for beers of this type.

I believe that one's been mercifully retired. Smelled like Betty Crocker Yellow Cake Mix. Just hideous. Putrescent. And I'm being seriously kind.

shame.

 

[coldchill]

Belated:

St. Arnold's Lawnmower (from Culdeus) - Not a lot going on here, but very refreshing. This is a pretty good choice for this nasty heat wave. Had I not been outside with the kids (in the heat and humidity) I probably would have opted for something a little more substantial. There was a flavor in there that I recognized but couldn't put my finger on. This would be a good session beer on the golf course.

 

[coldchill]

coldchill,

Not sure if I've said this before, but the site for your homebrew efforts is top notch. I'll look you up if and when my buddy and I get our pub-cafe-whatever open (if ever).

Thanks NG. I have a creative streak a mile wide, unfortunately I do not have the ability to be an artist or musician, so I use my homebrewing and the websites as a bit of a creative outlet.

Breaking out the home brews tonight. Me and two buddies are going to sample them. Will report back. Also, saved the DFH 90 for tonight too.

Cool, let me know what you think. Even if you hate them, let me know why so I can maybe improve the next time. You can't hurt my feelings. I would highly recommend splitting up the bottle of Mean Bean, its a beer that drinks like a meal.

First review of the Abt 12 Special Edition posted at BA...it got a 5.

Came in a beautiful navy blue special edition tin can that is surely a collectors item. This beer actually came to me by accident. I was at my local store picking up some Fantôme and Rogue and the guy at the cash register informed me that they just received shipment of the St. Bernardus Special Edition. My heart almost stopped beating I was so excited. Popped the cork off of the 750ml bottle and immediately picked up some beautiful aromas in the air. Poured a dark murky brown in color with a beautiful creamy white head. Dark fruits, yeast, bread, pepper and a rum like alcohol aroma are among the many flavors in the nose. This is quite the "sniffing" beer.The second this brew hit my mouth I instantly fell in love with it. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth and creamy. Words alone cannot describe the taste of this complex beer. Sweet plums and malt dominate the front as the wonderfully integrated hops and warming alcohol bring up the rear. I cannot say enough about this fantastic brew as it absolutely perfect! In my opinion it is even better than the original Abt 12. Props to the guys at Brouwerij St. Bernardus for crafting an excellent beer. Needless to say, I will be stocking up on this brew while I can.

Sounds like I need to get my hands on at least a case of this.

I think this could be the ultimate cellaring beer, and could wind up with quite a bit of value in a couple of years if stored correctly.

My thoughts exactly. The regular Abt 12 can cellar for up to 15 years. I can only imagine what I could get in a trade for one of these 10 or 15 years down the road.

I'm going to try to get a case.

 

[mr. furley]

price of a case?

 

[The Gator]

[Wingnut]

price of a case?

Wholesale, from my beer rep is $110 a case. Figure about a 30% markup retail (at my store), and im looking at about $140ish (for 12 750mls. Not bad at all - about $11.50 - $12.00 per bottle)

 

[mr. furley]

well then.............. that might be worth it.

now to find it around here.

Southern Tier Hop Sun from BOMC2

What a great summer beer! Nice citrusy hops, light body, moderate bitterness. A guy could drink a bunch of these on a hot day.

If not for the fact I only had the one bottle
